Zapp Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Although I've never been a fan of blended triggerguards in stocks, you've made a really nice job of that and the finish is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie&bezza Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Cheers gonk. That's a great compliment then zapp thanks and to be honest with the Finish I used you just wipe it on thinly with an old piece of t-shirt. I lightly rubbed it all over with polishing wire wool between coats. Most people could do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruno22rf Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 To my eyes it kinda looks like a right hander ( because of the cheek piece) but the thumbhole looks like its cut for your left hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your eyes are correct Bruno. When I started making it I was doing it for a right hander. I'm right handed but shoot shotgun left handed as I became left eye dominant but still shoot rifles right handed. I cut the cheekpiece on the right but when I was zeroing my other air rifle (also right handed), I had a go left handed and it felt more natural so I thought sod it I'm going to make the stock sort of ambi but mainly a leftie if that makes sense. I done the thumbhole as a leftie but on the right hand side I carved out enough to make it feel not too uncomfortable if it's easier to take a shot right handed if need be. I can guess your thinking WHAT?!? Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno22rf Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'm thinking - Christ on a bike that's some stunning workmanship TBH. The rather odd thumbhole position, however, did catch my eye...my comment was more of a "am I imagining it" than a criticism of any kind as your finished stock is a work of art .
